MALAYSIA
Malaysia is strategically located in the heart of the Asia-Pacific. It has five international airports serviced by most of the world's major airlines. The capital city, Kuala Lumpur is a city of dramatic contrasts, skyscrapers and high-rise hotels tower alongside pockets of rustic old towns.
With an aggressive industrialisation programme, developed communication network, established transportation infrastructure and conducive business environment, Malaysia is fast emerging to be a choice destination for international conventions and exhibitions.
The wide range of well-equipped facilities, world-class hotels and venues that cater to all types of meeting requirements and its proven track record in hosting numerous major international events are some of the attributes that makes Malaysia an attractive venue to many convention and exhibition organizers.
Blessed with tropical weather and some of the most 
fascinating tourist attractions, Malaysia is a tropical paradise for many tourists. The country's rich tropical hinterland includes the world's most ancient caves, longest rapids, scenic lakes and oldest rainforest. The region's best scuba diving and snorkeling waters are found in the crystal clear seas around Malaysia's islands, which are reputed as amongst the most beautiful in the world.
